Performance Monitor

[Curtis Potts]

I have a log setup that traces some counters on our
servers but right now I have to start it manually
everytime the computer is rebooted. Is there a way that
I can get this happening automatically?

Add the "Group Policy" snapin to MMC. In addition to logon/logoff scripts it
gives you access to startup/shutdown scripts. Just create a startup script
that starts your log, and this should happen whenever a server is started.

Cool, that gets me a little closer now. You wouldn't
happen to know how you get it to start logging
automatically. I know the exe is perfmon.exe but I am not
sure how I get it to start with the log automatically.

I assumed that, since you knew how to start the logging manually that you
could start it from a batch file. Note that you can start perfmon from a
batchfile just by giving its name as a command. If you can save your logging
setup into a .msc file, you should be able to start it up with that loaded
with a command such as:

mmc C:\mylog.msc

Hi Al,

sorry for "breaking in" here and that late ... ;-)

Do you know something of a COM/IDispatch interface for that?? That would
meet my need better!????

Thanks so far and
best regards,

Sorry to say, no I don't. But thanks for asking ;-)

Maybe someone else in here will have something to add (I hope).

The farthest I've gone with that is just confirming that it is scriptable - and this is on XP, so Your Mileage May Vary.

This pulls up the Perf Counters selector purely via script:

set oSM = CreateObject("Sysmon")
oSM.BrowseCounters

There is a *very* large tree of COM-accessible items in sysmon.ocx, from which that came.

On W2K you could use a fake alert.
In perfmon got to the performance logs and alerts -> alerts tab
Built an alert (eg memory > 0kb) and choose as action start an counter log

Hi,

much thanks! To start, I tried your short sample on a w2k server and it
works!!!! I'll have a look into the objectmodel; But this is similar that,
what I want!!!

A fairly good tool to use is either the Microsoft Office VBA Object Browser or Mark Pryor's TLViewer. You can get that from
